An asylum seeker applied for asylum with USCIS in 2017 and had lived in the United States without incident for nine years while his immigration applications were pending. He went to what he believed was a routine biometrics appointment for his work permit renewal. There, an ICE officer told him he was being detained over an unspecified felony charge, but no further information about any charge was ever provided to him or his attorney. He was taken into custody with no hearing before a neutral decisionmaker and no finding that he posed any danger or flight risk. A federal judge found his detention likely violated his due process rights and ordered the government to release him immediately, barring his re-detention without notice and a pre-deprivation hearing, and setting a further hearing on the matter.
